    Aww, that takes me back to how my wife and I were when we were long distance over a decade ago (and also international). And while she is tall for Japan, she is noooot tall. Actually we’re about the same heights as the comic, too. Cute.

      My not-yet-wife and I are in that situation rn. I’m on the taller side for a German and she’s average Asian height, so our size difference is bigger than in the comic. ><

    I’m kinda tall for a woman, and swear to God the only women I’ve ever felt attracted to at all were taller than me. With guys I don’t really care, around my height is good, have dated guys shorter than me, but guys my height do outweigh me and are much stronger than I am. I consider myself very heterosexual but do sometimes wonder if it is as simple as liking “bigger/stronger than me” and don’t live in a world with a lot of women taller than me? Probably just straight, not hung up and generally only respond at all to men, all women can see when another woman is attractive but I really don’t know.

      You don’t have to put a label on yourself. Like what you like. Everything is a spectrum, anyway. It is totally fair to enjoy looking at a woman in a way that feels a little more than heterosexual, and it doesn’t have to mean you have to label those feelings as neither romantic or sexual attraction. I am just saying this to advocate for loving yourself the way you are, I’m not sure if you need to hear it specifically :D

      It’s just a feature I think a of of people find attractive, big or small. For most people I think it’s not necessarily a deal breaker but a small +/- towards attraction. I can’t tell you exactly why I like certain features like the nape of the neck, just that I do. I’m not going to dismiss someone as a partner for it either but it’s a small +/-. Height is just the mainstream version of that cause a bunch of people relate. Some people like to be made to feel big or small by their partner, height differences can do that.

      There will always be the shallow people who dismiss someone entirely based on something like that though, probably best to avoid those people.
